Paige VanZant won't be part of The Ultimate Fighter 20 women's strawweight cast

Original reports have Paige VanZant (3-1) as part of those transferees for TUF, and while she indeed has signed with the UFC, the Team Alpha Male product won't be part of the TUF 20 cast coached by Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez.

"Paige has now signed straight with the UFC," Urijah Faber told Bloody Elbow, stating that VanZant won't be allowed into the TUF house because the young prospect is still below the age requirement. With alcohol routinely being part of the UFC reality show, they require fighters to be of legal drinking age, which unfortunately takes this 20-year-old out of the picture.

She will still be able to ply her trade in the Octagon though, and while she won't have the first crack at the championship, she also wouldn't have to go through the grueling season just to enter the UFC.

"I haven't taken a look at that strawweight division yet, but she works hard and she's got a good head on her shoulders," Faber said as he talked about VanZant's chances in the new UFC division, "She's an athlete, that's for sure. Hopefully she does really well."

She isn't bad looking by any stretch of the imagination but not exactly my cup of tea.
I honestly do believe Cat Zingano is better looking, Gina, Meisha, hell I would even take Ronda over Paige, but to each their own.
Not everyones taste are the same.

I have to disagree. Paige is significantly better looking than Cat, Meisha, or Ronda. Cat looks like an old cougar that's trying too hard to look young, Meisha is pretty cute but that nose is kind of distracting, and as for Ronda, have you seen her without makeup? No thank you.
